We hope everyone had a relaxing 4th of July! Next Monday we enter our peak meet season. Four meets in four weeks! Finals will be Saturday August 12th. At the bottom of this email we have a schedule for the next three meet weeks.That includes *no* Friday practices when we have a Friday meet. For more info on meets, see our Swim Meet 101 page and even more at Swim Meet 102. Or ask!
This Thursday 7/13 at 7:30 pm we'll have the butterfly USMS stroke clinic instead of practice. If you have fins, bring them! If not we'll have extras. Fly is the most physically demanding stroke, but we will break the stroke into pieces to make it more accessible for beginners. A few videos about butterfly:
